Chime Gold Vacuum Tube USB DAC
4
Installation
Connecting to your audio system is very easy. Connect the USB cable to your
PC, the line level outputs (RCA jacks) to your linestage or integrated amplifier.
There are two front panel switches that change operating modes. The
PHASE
switch changes signal polarity (up is positive). The
FILTER
switch selects
between slow rolloff mode (down) and fast rolloff (up). The blue LEDs indicate
status of power supplies and signal lock. If the
RX
led is off, then there is no valid
44.1k data signal.
Due to the tube rectified high voltage supply, there is a turn-on delay of about 30
seconds. Proper warm-up takes at least 5 minutes. Best results are after one
hour.
